I hated P.E.!

I always had to do sports at which I sucked. No chess, no swimming, no bicycling. I would have dominated these sporting events.

As for P.E. being a requirement to graduate that is absurd. I can understand when you are interested in athletics or interesting in obtaining a scholarship for athletic abilities it would be required.

After all, you don't expect someone who studies to become a hotel manager to do his training with washing the dishes, and scrubbing the floors, do you?
